Cherish

I adore this picture of my husband and our son! I knew the layout needed to be special. I absolutely love the way it turned out!!

I used Sketch #119 from Let's Capture Our Memories for this page. I loved the layers and the simple potential. I hunted for supplies through my stash for this layout. I used a simple piece of gray cardstock, and gave it a few spritz and splats of Dylussions white misting ink. I ended up ironing the paper afterward to help it to lay a bit more flat. It didn't come out perfectly flat, but it was better. I hunted for all sorts of buttons and such from different collections I had laying around. I love how it all came together.

I looked for any button, chipboard, or wooden nickel with the mint/aqua and gray color to them. Just a little bit of gray baker's twine made the embellishments come together.

I used a phrase from a set of foam Thickers that I had in my stash. I worked perfectly with this page. I typed and printed my journaling, and cut it into strips. I love showcasing my journaling this way.

I also get to use this layout for a challenge from Red Carpet Studio. I love when my layouts fit for multiple challenges! RCS challenge #98 was inspired by the move Overboard, which is one of my most favorite movies! The challenge was to use a masculine and a feminine element on your page. My masculine element is the dark gray background and the black letters. The feminine element is the soft mint/teal colors in the papers and embellishments, and the little bow of baker's twine.

Thank you for taking a look at my layout. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Please leave me your thoughts. Thanks!

Good evening everyone. Tonight I'm showing off a layout I worked in this weekend. It's a LO about my son and his Auntie, one of my best friends, when they took a Selfie after seeing a movie together. I love this picture. They just look like they are so cool.

This picture has been hanging around waiting to be scrapped for a a year (I didn't add the date to my  LO until after I took the picture - July 2013). Because I used an older photo and a Noel Mignon it that has been hanging around since June, I decided to enter this LO in The Studio Challenges clear up challenge.

I used a sketch from Stuck?! Sketches that was designed by one of my favorite sketch designers, Laura Whitaker. I took the sketch and flipped it (I admit, I have issues with banner points pointing up). I had lots of fun playing with all the layers. I used an older Noel Mignon kit that I hadn't worked my way through yet. I love the colors!

Those green 3-D glasses were perfect! My son loved them.

I used Heidi Swapp's Color Shine in teal to color the Doilie. It made it much more interesting than plain white.

I love this little group of fun embellishments. You will also notice a little Heidi a Swapp glitter frame tucked under the picture. I'm using this LO for challenge #87 from Red Carpet Studio . The challenge was to use something glittery. Not only did I use the glitter frame, but the title is made from green, glitter Thickers.

You can't get much more glittery than that, right? I used a yellow acetate # sign and dabbed a bit of teal ink on it to calm the color a bit. I love how it blended so well with the green letters.

Thank you for taking a look at my layout. If you like my work, please take a moment to follow my blog. Thank you!

Love This

Well, I had a small break in scrapping due to some flooding in our town and our house, but, all is well (or on their way to being well), and it's good to be thinking of scrapping and not house repairs. 

I'm still working on using up the "Hey Girl" Kit from Noel Mignon. I'm loving the colors, and gold is quickly becoming a favorite accent. This is my latest creation:

My daughter is beautiful! Luckily she's just as beautiful inside. I love my girl! This scrunchy-nose look is common for her. I know that she's laughing inside when I see that look on her face. I love it!

I used a lot of gold on this page. I love the way it shines.

I used some DearLizzy watercolor words for the title. I colored them with Mr. Huey's Color Mist in Gold. I also dropped some of the mist on the page and smacked it on the table to make the drops drip nicely.

More gold accents. Lots of fun!

This little cluster of embellishments was fun to put together. I used more Dear a Lizzy watercolor words for the XOXo. I also used Rubens, enamel dots, felt flowers, a glitter frame, and some adorable Washi tape. So many goodies!

I used a sketch from Let's a Get Sketchy for this layouts I really liked working with it.

I am also using this layout for the January challenge at Red Carpet Studio . The challenge was to use items in twos. To meet this challenge I used two photos, two word phrases (Love This and XOXO), and two felt hearts.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my layout. Please leave me a comment, and join my blog to see more of my work.
